Well, we welcome our viewing
audience to Tampa Florida
00:01:20.51\00:01:24.85
and to Mount Calvary
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:01:24.91\00:01:28.78
beautiful place, isn't it?
00:01:28.82\00:01:30.39
This is indeed... this
is indeed a beautiful church
00:01:30.45\00:01:34.26
and the building
ain't bad either.
00:01:34.29\00:01:36.22
No, that's right... in
fact the building is fantastic
00:01:36.26\00:01:40.10
and brand new, I
don't know how many seats
00:01:40.13\00:01:44.83
it's one of the largest churches
I've ever been in though.
00:01:44.87\00:01:47.37
It is a beautiful church
and they've treated us royally,
00:01:47.40\00:01:49.50
we're so glad to be here.
00:01:49.54\00:01:50.87
Oh they have been so good to us,
00:01:50.91\00:01:52.34
they gave me a
special place to park
00:01:52.37\00:01:54.18
and I thanked them by backing
into one of their trees, so...
00:01:54.21\00:01:59.25
Audience: Laughter.
00:01:59.28\00:02:00.98
But this is the kind of day
that the Lord is going to bless
00:02:01.02\00:02:04.49
and we're just
looking forward...
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.15
last night was fantastic.
00:02:06.19\00:02:07.52
It was a fantastic
evening, you know Jim,
00:02:07.56\00:02:09.42
there are a couple of people
00:02:09.46\00:02:10.79
that we need to
say "thank you" to...
00:02:10.83\00:02:12.19
one is the First Elder
of this church, Elder James,
00:02:12.23\00:02:14.23
and the
Pastor... Pastor Vincent...
00:02:14.26\00:02:16.77
and also the
Zephyrhills Hospital
00:02:16.80\00:02:19.23
who has fulfilled
every pastor's fantasy.
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.84
Pastor Gilley: That's right.
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.20
They have made
lunches for everybody
00:02:23.24\00:02:24.57
which allows us to
keep this congregation here
00:02:24.61\00:02:26.71
for the whole day...
that's every pastor's fantasy.
00:02:26.78\00:02:29.11
Pastor Gilley: That's right,
so if you're still home watching
00:02:29.14\00:02:31.38
my television
and you're hungry...
00:02:31.41\00:02:33.31
you come on and
join us... we have...
00:02:33.38\00:02:35.22
we have a nice lunch for
you and you will enjoy it.
00:02:35.25\00:02:38.89
Well, listen... we got
some good things on today
00:02:38.92\00:02:42.52
and right now, we're
going to meet somebody
00:02:42.59\00:02:45.29
that I haven't met before,
would you like to introduce her?
00:02:45.33\00:02:48.03
We're going to
call Dr. Joan Francis up
00:02:48.06\00:02:49.60
to give us our official welcome
and she is one of our Presenters
00:02:49.66\00:02:54.27
and we'll hear a little
bit more about her a later on
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.10
but just now she has
been assigned the task
00:02:56.14\00:02:58.44
to welcome us officially to
this very auspicious gathering.
00:02:58.47\00:03:01.78
And right after
that, we'll hear from
00:03:01.84\00:03:03.61
Sweet A-Chord musical group.
00:03:03.65\00:03:06.28
Good morning
Saints, Happy Sabbath...
00:03:06.31\00:03:09.98
Audience: Good
morning... Happy Sabbath.
00:03:10.02\00:03:11.45
Welcome to the second
segment of our Conference,
00:03:11.49\00:03:14.16
we join the prophetic map,
00:03:14.22\00:03:15.86
"Global Footprint of
Adventism and the Sabbath"
00:03:15.89\00:03:19.79
we welcome you to this,
00:03:19.83\00:03:21.66
we want you to
continue to rethink,
00:03:21.70\00:03:23.40
revise and renew your commitment
to the Lord of the Sabbath
00:03:23.43\00:03:27.14
and to all His children who
need to know about the Sabbath.
00:03:27.20\00:03:30.84
Our focus today is on
00:03:30.87\00:03:32.74
Africa as a
historical cultural center
00:03:32.77\00:03:35.18
of Christian faith and a
place where Sabbath observance
00:03:35.24\00:03:39.78
has been preserved.
00:03:39.81\00:03:41.42
We hope as you listen,
00:03:41.45\00:03:42.95
you will understand
what it means when it says
00:03:42.98\00:03:45.69
in Psalm 68:31 that Ethiopia
will reach out her hands to God.
00:03:45.72\00:03:50.49
We want you to relate this
00:03:50.53\00:03:52.23
to the proclamation of
the gospel of the Kingdom
00:03:52.29\00:03:55.06
and want to welcome
you to this service,
00:03:55.10\00:03:57.60
we want to hope that
you enjoy all the blessings
00:03:57.63\00:04:00.64
that God has prepared
for you, welcome again.
00:04:00.67\00:04:03.64
Piano playing...
00:04:03.67\00:04:12.45
more piano music...
00:04:12.48\00:04:16.89
more music...
00:04:16.92\00:04:21.26
I'm so glad I'm a
part of the Family of God,
00:04:21.29\00:04:28.63
I've been
washed in the fountain,
00:04:28.66\00:04:33.03
cleansed by His blood!
00:04:33.07\00:04:37.01
Joint heirs with
Jesus as we travel this sod,
00:04:37.04\00:04:44.31
For I'm part of the family,
00:04:44.35\00:04:48.32
The Family of God.
00:04:48.35\00:04:53.72
You will notice we say
"brother and sister" 'round here
00:04:53.76\00:05:02.33
'cause we're part of a
family and those oh so near,
00:05:02.36\00:05:10.91
When one has a
heartache, we all shed a tear,
00:05:10.94\00:05:19.95
And rejoice in the
victory of the family so dear.
00:05:19.98\00:05:28.92
I'm so glad I'm a
part of the Family of God,
00:05:28.96\00:05:38.43
I've been
washed in the fountain,
00:05:38.47\00:05:42.87
cleansed by His blood!
00:05:42.90\00:05:47.64
Joint heirs with
Jesus as we travel this sod,
00:05:47.68\00:05:57.19
For I'm part of the
family, The Family of God.
00:05:57.22\00:06:06.66
For I'm part of the family,
00:06:06.70\00:06:12.43
The Family of God...
00:06:12.47\00:06:17.07
God...
00:06:17.11\00:06:20.81
Yes we're part of the family,
00:06:20.84\00:06:26.41
The Family of...
00:06:26.48\00:06:31.95
God.
00:06:31.99\00:06:38.69
Audience: "Amen. "
00:06:38.73\00:06:41.26
Walking off the stage...
00:06:41.30\00:06:45.63
The first speaker this
morning is Dr. Keith Burton,
00:06:45.67\00:06:49.27
Dr. Burton is a
Religion Professor...
00:06:49.30\00:06:52.47
he's part of our group,
00:06:52.51\00:06:53.84
he's also the President
of Life Heritage Ministries
00:06:53.88\00:06:57.35
and he has
recently authored a book,
00:06:57.38\00:06:59.61
"The Blessings of Africa:
00:06:59.65\00:07:01.25
The Bible and
African Christianity"
00:07:01.28\00:07:03.49
today, his topic is,
"The Family of God. "
00:07:03.52\00:07:06.89
Join me in welcoming Dr. Burton.
00:07:06.92\00:07:09.19
Audience: Clapping...
00:07:09.22\00:07:17.00
Thank you Joan,
00:07:17.07\00:07:19.30
aren't you glad to be a
part of the family of God?
00:07:19.33\00:07:23.30
Audience: "Amen. "
00:07:23.34\00:07:24.67
If you're happy to
be a part of the family,
00:07:24.71\00:07:26.51
why don't you turn to
your neighbor and let them know
00:07:26.54\00:07:28.81
how much you appreciate them.
00:07:28.84\00:07:32.61
Audience: Greeting each other.
00:07:32.65\00:07:36.28
You must excuse me,
I'm still in "Crusade Mode"
00:07:36.35\00:07:39.42
I just finished a
three-week meeting in New York
00:07:39.45\00:07:42.49
there in Huntington,
00:07:42.52\00:07:44.59
and by the grace of God
00:07:44.63\00:07:46.66
we saw the Holy
Spirit working in mighty ways
00:07:46.70\00:07:49.33
but this morning we'll be
speaking about the family of God
00:07:49.36\00:07:55.27
and those who
were here last night
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.54
would have been exposed to
00:07:58.57\00:08:00.98
unique aspects of the
global footprints of Adventism
00:08:01.01\00:08:06.05
and the Sabbath.
00:08:06.11\00:08:07.45
Bertram Melbourne,
we saw... from India...
00:08:07.48\00:08:10.89
took us on a journey from
Jerusalem to Johannesburg,
00:08:10.92\00:08:14.39
on this detailed excursion,
00:08:14.42\00:08:17.89
we learned about the concentric
growth of the gospel message
00:08:17.93\00:08:22.60
we discovered that even as
the gospel was being preached
00:08:22.66\00:08:27.30
in the northern
regions of Galatia,
00:08:27.34\00:08:29.64
Philippi,
Corinth and Thessalonica,
00:08:29.67\00:08:31.91
the all-efficient God
ensured that the good news
00:08:31.94\00:08:36.31
also made the trip
down south to Ethiopia,
00:08:36.34\00:08:40.35
Kenya, Ghana, and Azadi ou
00:08:40.38\00:08:44.19
we were also exposed
00:08:44.22\00:08:47.06
to an oft-forgotten
chapter in history,
00:08:47.09\00:08:49.72
as Dr. Emory Tolbert detailed
the fight for Sabbath fidelity,
00:08:49.76\00:08:54.70
during an exciting period in
the Ethiopian Orthodox Church,
00:08:54.73\00:08:59.63
you know as Adventists,
00:08:59.67\00:09:02.37
we like to
celebrate our pioneers
00:09:02.40\00:09:05.77
James and Ellen
White, Joseph Bates,
00:09:05.81\00:09:09.11
Josiah Fitch, John Loughborough,
Uriah Smith and others
00:09:09.14\00:09:12.81
however, as we saw last night,
there are many other pioneers
00:09:12.85\00:09:18.09
who held the message of
the Sabbath and the Advent down
00:09:18.12\00:09:22.89
and in Abyssinian Ethiopia,
00:09:22.92\00:09:25.69
surrounded by the
forces of Muhammad
00:09:25.73\00:09:28.70
and assaulted by
the arrows of Rome,
00:09:28.76\00:09:31.60
God had reserved for Himself
00:09:31.63\00:09:34.47
a remnant who had
not bowed to Baal...
00:09:34.50\00:09:37.87
Audience: "Amen. "
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.44
And so as we reflect
on the stories of faith
00:09:39.47\00:09:41.81
through
persecution from last night,
00:09:41.84\00:09:43.95
I'm sure you will
agree that surely, Ezana
00:09:43.98\00:09:47.48
and Wastatius and Felicitas...
00:09:47.52\00:09:49.88
will be counted
among those who keep
00:09:49.95\00:09:53.05
the commandments of God
00:09:53.09\00:09:54.66
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ
00:09:54.72\00:09:57.66
although they
died centuries before
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.60
the birth of our
Movement, but surely I say,
00:10:00.63\00:10:04.03
they can be considered
"Seventh-day Adventists"
00:10:04.07\00:10:07.44
in the most
classic sense of the term.
00:10:07.47\00:10:10.94
While preparing
for this presentation,
00:10:10.97\00:10:14.84
my thoughts took
an involuntary detour
00:10:14.88\00:10:19.15
as I considered the
meaning of the name,
00:10:19.18\00:10:22.55
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:10:22.58\00:10:24.75
subconsciously my mind
strayed to the image of
00:10:24.79\00:10:30.79
Janus... the two-faced Roman god
00:10:30.83\00:10:34.30
who had the ability
00:10:34.33\00:10:36.03
to look in opposite
directions at the same time,
00:10:36.06\00:10:38.73
hopefully, none
would think it sacrilege
00:10:38.77\00:10:42.34
if I use this symbol
to illustrate our mission
00:10:42.37\00:10:46.61
and identity,
00:10:46.64\00:10:48.28
indeed, as a people, we
are serious about the past,
00:10:48.31\00:10:53.21
we honor the God of
history who created in six days
00:10:53.25\00:10:58.12
and rested on the seventh,
00:10:58.15\00:11:00.52
we celebrate the God of grace
00:11:00.56\00:11:02.86
who showed mercy on our
common parents, Adam and Eve,
00:11:02.89\00:11:07.86
and yes, Shem, Ham and
Japheth and their unnamed wives,
00:11:07.90\00:11:12.40
we marvel at the God of power
00:11:12.43\00:11:15.90
who liberated Israel
from Egyptian bondage,
00:11:15.94\00:11:19.11
and relieved the Jews
from Persian oppression,
00:11:19.14\00:11:22.78
we base our salvation
so definitely attained
00:11:22.81\00:11:26.41
by the one whose
throne is forever and ever,
00:11:26.45\00:11:29.98
like Janus, we look back...
00:11:30.02\00:11:32.62
but even as we look back,
00:11:32.65\00:11:35.16
even as we
celebrate our rich history,
00:11:35.19\00:11:38.76
even as we honor those who laid
down their lives for the faith
00:11:38.79\00:11:43.87
we refuse to be
prisoners of the past,
00:11:43.90\00:11:47.40
you see, we are
a people of destiny
00:11:47.44\00:11:50.94
we stride in God's providence
00:11:50.97\00:11:54.71
we look for those waymarks,
those great prophetic waymarks
00:11:54.74\00:11:59.61
we don't allow
ourselves to be stuck in time...
00:11:59.65\00:12:03.28
we are not tenaciously tethered
to treasured traditions,
00:12:03.32\00:12:08.12
we refuse to allow
molded mistakes of yesteryear
00:12:08.16\00:12:12.56
to steal our hope
of a better tomorrow,
00:12:12.59\00:12:15.50
like Paul in the 2nd
letter to the Corinthians,
00:12:15.53\00:12:19.33
we are a forward-looking people
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.24
who don't always
see things how they are
00:12:22.27\00:12:25.84
but picture
them... how they will be
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.24
we focus our energies on the
glorious vision of redemption
00:12:29.28\00:12:34.82
and restoration
as we await the time
00:12:34.88\00:12:38.29
when the kingdoms of this world
00:12:38.32\00:12:40.42
become the kingdoms of
our Lord and His Messiah,
00:12:40.46\00:12:44.29
like Janus... we look forward...
00:12:44.33\00:12:47.93
today, we are
afforded another opportunity
00:12:47.96\00:12:52.90
for
retrospection and anticipation
00:12:52.93\00:12:56.50
as we celebrate
the global footprint
00:12:56.54\00:13:00.11
of Adventism and the Sabbath.
00:13:00.14\00:13:03.45
Now, "footprint" is a
term used by the media
00:13:03.48\00:13:09.35
to define the extent of
their transmitting power.
00:13:09.38\00:13:13.52
3ABN we learn has a
footprint... a footprint...
00:13:13.56\00:13:17.63
that extends
beyond North America,
00:13:17.66\00:13:20.16
to every continent on the globe.
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.60
This footprint mirrors the
expanse of the gospel message
00:13:22.66\00:13:27.27
which continues to gain
ground as we rapidly approach
00:13:27.30\00:13:31.91
the time of Christ's appearing
00:13:31.94\00:13:33.94
but even, as we reflect
on the massive footprint...
00:13:33.98\00:13:40.78
I invite you to follow
some smaller footprints
00:13:40.82\00:13:46.12
that remind us of our mission
00:13:46.15\00:13:48.56
and where do these
footprints take us, you may ask,
00:13:48.59\00:13:52.99
well, they take us beyond
this mighty Adventist Movement
00:13:53.03\00:13:58.00
which sees the additions of
00:13:58.03\00:14:00.07
thousands of
precious souls every day,
00:14:00.10\00:14:02.37
they take us beyond the
churches of Ethiopia and Armenia
00:14:02.40\00:14:07.28
who held on to the Sabbath truth
00:14:07.31\00:14:09.68
while their brethren in
other parts of the globe
00:14:09.71\00:14:12.58
danced to Mithra's pipe,
00:14:12.61\00:14:14.72
they take us beyond the Lemba,
the Akan, the Yoruba, Igbo,
00:14:14.78\00:14:20.36
the Kalenjin and
other African tribes
00:14:20.42\00:14:23.12
that lived their lives to
the weekly rhythm of seven,
00:14:23.16\00:14:27.73
they take us beyond the
dispersed offspring of Israel
00:14:27.76\00:14:32.27
who have pitched their tents
on all of earth's continents.
00:14:32.30\00:14:36.04
Where do these
footprints take us?
00:14:36.10\00:14:38.84
They take us to
the very beginning
00:14:38.87\00:14:41.58
when God created the
heavens and the earth
00:14:41.61\00:14:45.48
the very beginning,
00:14:45.51\00:14:47.28
when the Father of
Creation breathed life
00:14:47.32\00:14:50.79
into the parents of humanity
00:14:50.82\00:14:52.42
and placed them in the
majestically manicured Eden.
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.92
This very weekend
as I stand before you
00:14:55.96\00:15:00.46
my wife's family is holding
a reunion in Atlanta, Georgia,
00:15:00.50\00:15:05.17
the scattered clans from
Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica,
00:15:05.20\00:15:10.47
California, Florida, New York,
Maryland, Tennessee and Alabama
00:15:10.51\00:15:14.18
will assemble together
00:15:14.21\00:15:16.14
as they greet
newly-discovered relatives
00:15:16.18\00:15:18.81
and rehearse the family history,
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.28
but even as the
Henry family meets
00:15:22.32\00:15:25.65
they are mindful of the
fact that their roots are deeper
00:15:25.69\00:15:31.23
than any
genealogical software can dig,
00:15:31.26\00:15:35.40
like others involved
in ancestral research,
00:15:35.46\00:15:39.53
their genealogical spade
00:15:39.57\00:15:42.17
may not be strong
enough to uncover the roots
00:15:42.20\00:15:45.24
that lie beneath the
coal mines of Scotland
00:15:45.27\00:15:48.28
or the diamond
fields of Mozambique,
00:15:48.31\00:15:50.65
however, even as their quest for
family identity is obstructed,
00:15:50.68\00:15:57.45
they are mindful
that their roots go deeper
00:15:57.49\00:16:01.46
than human inquisitiveness,
00:16:01.49\00:16:03.86
although there may be
many missing generations
00:16:03.89\00:16:08.46
and although these generations
may be permanently untraceable,
00:16:08.50\00:16:12.90
they can find
solace in the reality
00:16:12.93\00:16:15.67
that the roots of all
of us are firmly planted
00:16:15.70\00:16:19.67
in that common homestead
00:16:19.71\00:16:21.91
from which every
human being has sprung,
00:16:21.94\00:16:25.41
when we go to Eden
my brothers and sisters,
00:16:25.45\00:16:28.82
even the orphan can claim to
have a knowledge of her roots.
00:16:28.85\00:16:34.19
As tribal
temptations tug at our loyalties
00:16:34.22\00:16:39.49
every now and then, it is good
for the global Adventist family
00:16:39.53\00:16:44.80
to reflect on
our common ancestry,
00:16:44.83\00:16:48.44
hence the trip to
Eden this morning,
00:16:48.47\00:16:52.04
you will find that
when we travel to Eden,
00:16:52.07\00:16:55.41
we are reminded that all
members of the human family
00:16:55.44\00:17:00.75
share the same DNA...
00:17:00.78\00:17:02.98
Audience: "Amen. "
00:17:03.02\00:17:05.12
Oh, we may exhibit
different human characteristics
00:17:05.15\00:17:08.19
but we are all
from the same source,
00:17:08.22\00:17:11.49
the God of
diversity who created culture,
00:17:11.53\00:17:15.13
may have scattered
unique genetic markers
00:17:15.16\00:17:18.47
across the planet,
00:17:18.50\00:17:19.83
our hair
textures, our lip densities,
00:17:19.87\00:17:22.77
our skin hues,
our nasal dimensions
00:17:22.80\00:17:25.71
and eye angles may
be noticeably different
00:17:25.74\00:17:28.64
but as God's
Word has established
00:17:28.68\00:17:31.91
and Science... yes
Science has confirmed
00:17:31.95\00:17:36.12
we all originated
from the same loins...
00:17:36.15\00:17:40.29
Audience: "Amen. "
00:17:40.32\00:17:42.09
Some Christians get
a little uncomfortable
00:17:42.12\00:17:46.13
when we talk about Science,
00:17:46.16\00:17:47.86
when certain
reports come to the fray
00:17:47.90\00:17:51.07
for some reason they fear
00:17:51.10\00:17:54.14
that new discoveries
may destroy fragile faith,
00:17:54.17\00:17:57.81
however, like Paul,
00:17:57.84\00:18:00.94
I am persuaded that we can
do nothing against the truth
00:18:00.98\00:18:08.08
and if authentic
Science is a quest for truth,
00:18:08.12\00:18:12.25
it can only confirm
God's revealed Word,
00:18:12.29\00:18:16.73
indeed, we have
reason to shout...
00:18:16.76\00:18:20.06
when I believed geneticists
announce that mitochondrial
00:18:20.10\00:18:25.63
and Y chromosomal DNA,
verify what the book of Genesis
00:18:25.67\00:18:31.17
has established
for three millennia,
00:18:31.21\00:18:33.61
we all have common
parents in Adam and Eve,
00:18:33.64\00:18:38.61
we are emboldened when
anthropologists declare
00:18:38.68\00:18:43.49
that the oldest human fossils
00:18:43.55\00:18:45.69
are located in the
Biblical region of Ham
00:18:45.72\00:18:49.19
after all Genesis
chapter 2 verses 10 through 14
00:18:49.22\00:18:53.80
informs us that all four
rivers of Eden were situated
00:18:53.83\00:19:00.27
in the territory of Cush,
00:19:00.30\00:19:01.84
when you have time, look it up,
00:19:01.87\00:19:04.21
it speaks about the
first river the Gihon
00:19:04.27\00:19:07.61
that encircles the land of
Havilah where there is gold
00:19:07.64\00:19:10.55
and the Pishon that
encircled the land of Cush
00:19:10.58\00:19:12.51
and then the
Tigris... and the Euphrates
00:19:12.55\00:19:15.22
well when you look
at Genesis chapter 10,
00:19:15.28\00:19:17.92
you will see
that Cush or Ethiopia
00:19:17.95\00:19:22.52
fathered several children.
00:19:22.56\00:19:24.69
One of them was Havilah...
00:19:24.73\00:19:26.76
the same place
where there was gold
00:19:26.80\00:19:29.16
where one of the
rivers of Eden surrounds it,
00:19:29.20\00:19:31.33
another one of his
children was Nimrod
00:19:31.37\00:19:34.27
who founded Assyria and
Babylon... modern-day Iraq
00:19:34.30\00:19:37.61
where the Tigris and
the Euphrates are located
00:19:37.64\00:19:40.88
and so we see from very
early on in the Book of Genesis
00:19:40.91\00:19:45.75
the Bible lets us
know that God located Eden
00:19:45.78\00:19:50.45
in the Biblical land of Ham
and so, if indeed, this is so...
00:19:50.49\00:19:57.16
why should archeology
give a contrary testimony?
00:19:57.19\00:20:01.86
As the very skeptics who decry
the miraculous discover facts
00:20:01.93\00:20:08.17
that buttress our faith,
00:20:08.20\00:20:10.24
the people of God
ought to be rejoicing
00:20:10.27\00:20:13.24
with jubilant affirmation
00:20:13.27\00:20:14.98
as the people
anchored in divine providence
00:20:15.01\00:20:18.01
we ought to be a
sentiment of the psalmist,
00:20:18.05\00:20:21.02
"the heavens
declare the glory of God
00:20:21.05\00:20:23.39
and the firmament
shows His handiwork. "
00:20:23.42\00:20:25.72
Audience: "That's right, amen. "
00:20:25.75\00:20:27.36
This ode to the Creator,
evokes the joy of heaven,
00:20:27.39\00:20:31.83
as Cherubim and Seraphim
lend their symphonic chords
00:20:31.86\00:20:36.26
to the grand chorus,
however, even as we worship
00:20:36.30\00:20:40.70
we must be mindful that
there are demonic forces
00:20:40.74\00:20:45.01
for which praise is cacophony...
00:20:45.04\00:20:47.81
for which rejoicing is bedlam
00:20:47.84\00:20:50.61
for which joyous
jubilation is tantamount
00:20:50.65\00:20:54.02
to assiduously
tormenting temper tantrum,
00:20:54.05\00:20:57.39
the enemy of souls is disturbed
00:20:57.42\00:21:00.22
when the
scattered tribes of Adam
00:21:00.26\00:21:02.92
sing in harmonious accord,
00:21:02.96\00:21:06.03
already in the garden... that
old serpent had orchestrated
00:21:06.06\00:21:11.73
the fragmentation
of the first family.
00:21:11.77\00:21:13.77
When he had finished his
devious work of deception,
00:21:13.80\00:21:17.21
those who had been
created in the very image of God
00:21:17.24\00:21:20.61
were so confused and ashamed
00:21:20.64\00:21:23.51
that they ran and hid
from their loving Father,
00:21:23.55\00:21:27.22
God had created humans
for unity and companionship
00:21:27.25\00:21:30.85
and the one who had brought
division to the heavenly courts
00:21:30.89\00:21:35.09
was set on sowing
his seeds of discord
00:21:35.12\00:21:39.09
among the human family.
00:21:39.13\00:21:40.76
He did not stop
with Adam and Eve
00:21:40.80\00:21:43.53
but injected the
virus of prejudice
00:21:43.57\00:21:46.20
into the heart of Cain who
despised his brother so much
00:21:46.23\00:21:49.97
that he murdered
him with his own hands,
00:21:50.01\00:21:52.41
energized by his warm success,
00:21:52.44\00:21:55.51
the great dragon continued
his divided revolt strategy
00:21:55.54\00:22:00.92
with the antediluvians
00:22:00.95\00:22:02.35
with these he organized the
race dubbed the daughters of men
00:22:02.38\00:22:07.26
which opposed and eventually
subsumed the sons of God.
00:22:07.29\00:22:11.56
His plan was temporarily halted
00:22:11.59\00:22:14.86
when Yahweh saved a
remnant through Noah
00:22:14.90\00:22:18.17
and bade the favored
family to repopulate the earth.
00:22:18.20\00:22:22.50
However, it did not take
long for the scientist of doom
00:22:22.54\00:22:26.81
to set another plan in motion,
00:22:26.88\00:22:29.71
a plan that he knew was
destined to divide the earth...
00:22:29.74\00:22:34.02
divide the earth once more...
00:22:34.05\00:22:36.42
Yahweh, I'm sure had hoped that
after the lessons of the flood,
00:22:36.45\00:22:42.19
humans would unite in doing
good and bring glory to His name
00:22:42.22\00:22:47.60
but they were
subsumed by an evil agenda
00:22:47.63\00:22:51.87
and as they built Babel...
in another act of grace,
00:22:51.90\00:22:56.20
Yahweh confounded the
speech of those who built...
00:22:56.24\00:23:00.54
and as a result,
earth's inhabitants
00:23:00.58\00:23:03.31
were geographically separated
00:23:03.35\00:23:05.45
according to
language and ethnicity.
00:23:05.51\00:23:08.12
Not one to miss an
opportunity, the great deceiver
00:23:08.15\00:23:13.22
began to plant seeds of discord
00:23:13.25\00:23:16.56
among the
linguistically separated groups,
00:23:16.59\00:23:19.36
he had them create new religions
00:23:19.39\00:23:22.40
and the world we find
that was born from Babel
00:23:22.43\00:23:26.07
was one that was
divided by difference
00:23:26.10\00:23:29.27
and peppered with prejudice...
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.11
a world not too different
than the world that we inherited
00:23:31.14\00:23:36.14
now, the casual
reader of Scripture
00:23:36.21\00:23:40.05
may think that Yahweh
endorsed the difference
00:23:40.08\00:23:43.69
wasn't He the one who
overlooked Ham and Japheth
00:23:43.72\00:23:47.29
and placed His mantle on Shem?
00:23:47.32\00:23:49.49
Wasn't it He who separated
the liberated Israelites
00:23:49.52\00:23:53.93
for a holy use?
00:23:53.96\00:23:55.30
Wasn't it He who enacted
a covenant with Jacob's sons
00:23:55.33\00:23:59.23
and endowed them with
irrevocable blessings?
00:23:59.30\00:24:01.67
Yes, while it is true that
God had His special relationship
00:24:01.70\00:24:06.81
with a certain line
of Shem's family tree,
00:24:06.84\00:24:09.48
don't be deceived,
00:24:09.51\00:24:12.58
God does not condone
ethnic, cultural, national
00:24:12.61\00:24:18.62
or any other type of supremacy,
00:24:18.65\00:24:21.59
those who are tempted
to use race or religion
00:24:21.62\00:24:25.03
as a platform
to belittle others,
00:24:25.06\00:24:27.33
must be warned that they're
not doing the work of God...
00:24:27.40\00:24:31.53
an enemy has done this.
00:24:31.57\00:24:33.60
Audience: "True... "
00:24:33.64\00:24:35.27
While it is true that Yahweh
00:24:35.30\00:24:39.01
forged a special relationship
with Abraham's descendants,
00:24:39.04\00:24:42.48
let's not forget the
true purpose of His election
00:24:42.54\00:24:46.95
when He called Abraham,
00:24:47.02\00:24:49.35
He made no secret
of His ultimate plan
00:24:49.38\00:24:53.52
I will make you a
great nation, He says,
00:24:53.56\00:24:57.46
"I will bless you
and make your name great
00:24:57.49\00:25:01.40
and you shall be a blessing.
00:25:01.43\00:25:04.23
I will bless those who bless you
00:25:04.27\00:25:07.00
and I will curse
those who curse you,
00:25:07.04\00:25:10.07
and in you... " He says,
00:25:10.11\00:25:11.74
"all the families of the
earth shall be blessed. "
00:25:11.77\00:25:14.98
Did you hear
that? Audience: "Amen. "
00:25:15.01\00:25:16.98
"All families of the
earth shall be blessed. "
00:25:17.01\00:25:21.28
Abraham's descendants
we're not elected to establish
00:25:21.32\00:25:27.49
an exclusive country
club for members only,
00:25:27.52\00:25:30.53
they were to be the vehicle
00:25:30.56\00:25:32.99
through whom God's blessings
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.36
would flow to all
of earth's families.
00:25:35.40\00:25:38.33
We should not be surprised then
00:25:38.37\00:25:40.97
to read Yahweh's
commission and statement
00:25:41.00\00:25:44.17
to the Israelite multitude
00:25:44.21\00:25:45.64
before He revealed the
Ten Commandments to them.
00:25:45.67\00:25:48.84
He says, "You shall be to me
00:25:48.88\00:25:51.55
a kingdom of
priests and a Holy Nation"
00:25:51.58\00:25:55.95
With this
declaration, every Israelite was
00:25:55.98\00:25:59.82
automatically
installed into a priestly order.
00:25:59.85\00:26:03.39
The task of ministry was
not just the responsibility
00:26:03.43\00:26:07.66
of the sons of Levi, but
every member of the covenant
00:26:07.70\00:26:11.87
was to be an
agent of reconciliation
00:26:11.90\00:26:14.37
as they pointed
to the Lamb of God,
00:26:14.40\00:26:17.17
who takes away
the sins of the world.
00:26:17.21\00:26:19.61
Audience: "Amen. "
00:26:19.64\00:26:21.01
God's reconciling plan is
evident throughout Scripture.
00:26:21.04\00:26:25.75
It is not an exclusive plan
00:26:25.78\00:26:28.92
available only to those
who can pay the premium,
00:26:28.95\00:26:32.42
it's not an elitist
plan for those who are a part
00:26:32.45\00:26:35.89
of the right organization,
00:26:35.92\00:26:38.33
It's a comprehensive plan
00:26:38.36\00:26:40.70
that provides
universal assurance to all...
00:26:40.73\00:26:44.67
who is it that says,
00:26:44.70\00:26:46.74
"You're in good
hands with AllState"
00:26:46.77\00:26:49.34
let me tell you
something with my God...
00:26:49.37\00:26:51.97
He got the whole
world in His hand...
00:26:52.01\00:26:54.58
it's not just about
the descendants of Abraham
00:26:54.61\00:26:58.21
but all the dispersed offspring
of Shem, Ham and Japheth
00:26:58.25\00:27:03.05
have a role to
play in the grand drama,
00:27:03.08\00:27:07.16
my brothers and sisters,
00:27:07.19\00:27:09.89
this was God's plan
from the very beginning
00:27:09.92\00:27:14.26
Genesis informs us that
although it was a son of Shem
00:27:14.30\00:27:18.43
who inherited the promise,
00:27:18.47\00:27:20.30
it was Melchizedek, a Jebusite,
00:27:20.34\00:27:24.57
a person of Ham
who received his tithes
00:27:24.61\00:27:29.38
and blessed him
00:27:29.44\00:27:31.01
and it was the hermetic
Canaanites... Tamar and Rahab
00:27:31.05\00:27:35.12
and the Moabitess, Ruth,
00:27:35.15\00:27:37.22
who were conjugates of
Messiah's earthly ancestors.
00:27:37.25\00:27:41.86
Generations later...
00:27:41.89\00:27:43.89
when David was being
prepared for the throne,
00:27:43.93\00:27:47.46
he had the faithful allegiance
00:27:47.50\00:27:50.63
of warriors from
Philistia and Canaan
00:27:50.67\00:27:53.84
who were an essential
part of his fighting force.
00:27:53.87\00:27:57.67
Indeed, when we look
at 2nd Samuel chapter 18,
00:27:57.71\00:28:01.34
we find that Ittai the Gittite,
Ittai the man of Gath...
00:28:01.38\00:28:06.51
Ittai the man of Philistia
which came from the Caslahites
00:28:06.55\00:28:11.22
which came from
Mizraim which is Egypt,
00:28:11.25\00:28:14.69
Ittai was one of his
three trusted Generals
00:28:14.72\00:28:18.06
and how can we forget
the fate of the loyal Uriah
00:28:18.09\00:28:22.90
an offspring of
Ham's grandson, Heth,
00:28:22.93\00:28:26.70
or we can recall the warning
that the Egyptian Pharaoh Necho
00:28:26.74\00:28:31.97
gave to King
Josiah, the boy reformer,
00:28:32.01\00:28:34.94
in 2nd Chronicles chapter 35
00:28:34.98\00:28:37.38
when Josiah came out
against this African king,
00:28:37.45\00:28:40.48
the African King sent him this
message, listen very carefully,
00:28:40.52\00:28:43.62
"What have I to do
with you, King of Judah?
00:28:43.69\00:28:47.09
I have not come
against you this day,
00:28:47.12\00:28:51.19
for God commanded me...
" the African king says,
00:28:51.26\00:28:55.46
"God commanded me to make haste:
00:28:55.50\00:28:57.73
refrain from meddling with God,
00:28:57.77\00:29:00.94
who was with me,
lest He destroy you. "
00:29:00.97\00:29:04.74
If you remember the story,
00:29:04.77\00:29:06.98
Josiah did not listen
to this message of God
00:29:07.01\00:29:09.74
and was indeed destroyed,
00:29:09.78\00:29:11.11
and there's more...
00:29:11.15\00:29:12.61
although not from Terah's line,
00:29:12.65\00:29:15.58
it was Ahasuerus, the
Semitic king of Persia
00:29:15.62\00:29:18.95
who prevented the
genocide of God's remnant
00:29:18.99\00:29:22.26
in his far-flung provinces,
00:29:22.29\00:29:24.13
and according to Ezra
00:29:24.16\00:29:26.13
wasn't it the Lord
who stirred the spirit
00:29:26.19\00:29:29.40
of Cyrus and Darius
00:29:29.46\00:29:31.30
to use Government money to
reconstruct the temple of God.
00:29:31.33\00:29:35.04
Further, it was
not only Shem and Ham
00:29:35.07\00:29:39.11
who provided
willing servants for Yahweh,
00:29:39.14\00:29:43.11
but Japheth's descendants
have also featured prominently
00:29:43.14\00:29:48.12
in the divine drama,
00:29:48.15\00:29:49.48
indeed as our Savior
hung on the cruel cross
00:29:49.52\00:29:53.15
it was a member of
Caesar's army who declared,
00:29:53.19\00:29:56.86
"Surely, this man
is the Son of God"
00:29:56.89\00:30:00.63
and the righteous Cornelius,
another Roman centurion
00:30:00.70\00:30:04.57
was so sincere in
his walk with God,
00:30:04.60\00:30:07.70
that he was one of the
few worthies in Scripture
00:30:07.77\00:30:11.24
who was blessed with
an angelic appearance
00:30:11.27\00:30:14.11
or I could talk about
Phebe who Paul commends...
00:30:14.14\00:30:19.55
in Romans chapter
16, verses 1 through 2,
00:30:19.58\00:30:22.78
Phebe, he says,
who was a deacon...
00:30:22.82\00:30:26.12
not a deaconess...
00:30:26.15\00:30:27.49
she held the office of deacon
00:30:27.52\00:30:29.16
in the church of
Cenchrea right there in Corinth,
00:30:29.19\00:30:32.39
as we see... when we
look at the Biblical record,
00:30:32.43\00:30:36.46
all of Ham's...
00:30:36.50\00:30:37.83
all of Adam's descendants
were included in God's plan.
00:30:37.87\00:30:44.81
Audience: "Amen. "
00:30:44.87\00:30:46.21
Given the global breath
of God's redemptive net,
00:30:46.24\00:30:50.25
we should not be surprised
then, by the universal promises
00:30:50.31\00:30:54.42
that echo throughout Scripture,
00:30:54.48\00:30:55.98
lest Israel be
puffed up by her election,
00:30:56.02\00:30:59.55
Yahweh poses the
rhetorical question
00:30:59.59\00:31:02.69
through His prophet Amos,
00:31:02.72\00:31:04.09
"Are you not like
the Ethiopians to me?"
00:31:04.13\00:31:07.96
And again in Psalm 87
verse 4, He proclaims,
00:31:08.00\00:31:11.73
"Among those who know me,
I mentioned Rahab and Babylon
00:31:11.80\00:31:16.77
Philistia too and
Tyre... and Ethiopia:
00:31:16.81\00:31:20.24
this man was born
here, they say... "
00:31:20.28\00:31:24.05
and at the
inauguration of God's kingdom,
00:31:24.11\00:31:27.82
He promises to deliver
the remnant from Assyria
00:31:27.85\00:31:32.02
from Egypt, from Pathros,
00:31:32.05\00:31:34.99
from Ethiopia, from Elam,
00:31:35.02\00:31:37.79
from Shinar, from Hamath,
00:31:37.83\00:31:40.53
and from the islands of the sea,
00:31:40.60\00:31:43.23
on this great day of
restoration He declares,
00:31:43.26\00:31:47.30
"from beyond the Rivers
of Ethiopia my suppliants...
00:31:47.34\00:31:51.51
my scattered ones...
shall bring my offering"
00:31:51.54\00:31:55.28
and then a powerful prophecy
about the kings of the earth
00:31:55.31\00:31:59.45
bringing offerings
to the temple of God.
00:31:59.48\00:32:01.78
The Psalmist writes, "Let
princes come out of Egypt,
00:32:01.82\00:32:06.69
Ethiopia will quickly stretch
out her hands unto God... "
00:32:06.72\00:32:11.19
this glorious vision of unity
among the family of nations
00:32:11.23\00:32:16.67
is depicted
beautifully in Isaiah,
00:32:16.70\00:32:19.63
he writes in chapter 19
verses 23 and following...
00:32:19.67\00:32:23.30
"In that day, there will be
a highway from Egypt to Assyria
00:32:23.34\00:32:28.44
and the Assyrian
will come to Egypt
00:32:28.48\00:32:31.28
and the Egyptian into Assyria
00:32:31.31\00:32:33.35
and the Egyptians will
serve with the Assyrians
00:32:33.38\00:32:36.28
in that day... " he says,
00:32:36.32\00:32:37.65
"Israel shall be one of
three with Egypt and Assyria
00:32:37.69\00:32:43.09
a blessing in the
midst of the Lord,
00:32:43.12\00:32:46.19
whom the Lord of
Hosts shall bless saying,
00:32:46.23\00:32:49.90
'blest is Egypt my people
and Assyria the work of my hands
00:32:49.93\00:32:56.60
and Israel... my inheritance'"
00:32:56.67\00:32:59.94
what a wonderful
prophecy my brothers and sisters
00:32:59.97\00:33:03.35
in no uncertain terms,
00:33:03.38\00:33:05.68
God is letting us know that He
is in the "blessing business. "
00:33:05.71\00:33:09.82
Audience: "Amen. "
00:33:09.85\00:33:11.19
This is the same God who
does not wish for any to perish
00:33:11.22\00:33:13.72
but for all to
come to repentance,
00:33:13.76\00:33:15.96
this is the same God
who has enabled salvation
00:33:15.99\00:33:19.36
for everyone having faith
00:33:19.39\00:33:20.76
to the Jew first
and also the Gentile,
00:33:20.80\00:33:23.47
this is the
same God who promised
00:33:23.50\00:33:25.77
that all who believe in His Son
00:33:25.80\00:33:28.00
shall not perish but
shall receive eternal life,
00:33:28.04\00:33:31.41
this is the same God
00:33:31.44\00:33:33.01
who grants us a
glimpse of the great multitude
00:33:33.04\00:33:36.11
of the redeemed
comprised of members
00:33:36.14\00:33:39.21
from every nation,
kindred, tongue and people.
00:33:39.25\00:33:43.32
As the remnant of God
anticipates that grand reunion,
00:33:43.35\00:33:49.06
I pray that we have been
challenged by the prophetic word
00:33:49.09\00:33:54.80
we are excited
about marching to Zion,
00:33:54.83\00:33:57.83
but let me tell you something,
00:33:57.87\00:33:59.90
if we are going
to the same place,
00:33:59.93\00:34:02.50
we must march
as a united people.
00:34:02.57\00:34:05.11
Audience: "Amen. "
00:34:05.14\00:34:06.47
We may define
ourselves by our places of birth
00:34:06.51\00:34:08.74
or our places of domicile,
00:34:08.78\00:34:10.28
but we must never forget
that we are all God's people
00:34:10.31\00:34:14.98
we are all the
works of His hands,
00:34:15.05\00:34:18.22
we are all His inheritance,
00:34:18.25\00:34:21.36
the Assyrians, the
Egyptians, the Israelites,
00:34:21.39\00:34:25.03
the Americans, the
Trinidadians or the Cambodians,
00:34:25.06\00:34:29.20
the Yazidis, the
Russians, the Ghanaians,
00:34:29.23\00:34:32.70
the Sri Lankans,
the Chinese, the French,
00:34:32.73\00:34:36.67
we are all His
children, we are one nation,
00:34:36.71\00:34:40.58
we are family.
00:34:40.64\00:34:42.24
Audience: " Amen, thank you,
thank you, thank you thank you"
00:34:42.28\00:34:47.22
audience clapping...
00:34:47.25\00:34:49.75
Many Christian
writers... in closing,
00:34:49.78\00:34:52.12
have received
inspiration from Jesus' promise
00:34:52.15\00:34:55.76
of a gigantic Passover meal
00:34:55.79\00:34:57.63
at the
inauguration of the Kingdom,
00:34:57.66\00:35:00.46
they invite all to come on
in where the table is spread
00:35:00.50\00:35:04.37
and the feast of
the Lord is going on,
00:35:04.40\00:35:06.70
they pledge, "I'm going
to sit at the welcome table,
00:35:06.74\00:35:11.07
I'm going to feast
on milk and honey... "
00:35:11.11\00:35:14.44
they're excited
about the grand banquet
00:35:14.48\00:35:17.71
that welcomes all who transition
from mortality to immortality,
00:35:17.78\00:35:22.68
I have not seen
the menu for that day
00:35:22.72\00:35:25.72
however, I do believe
00:35:25.75\00:35:27.69
that the wholesome
food that have been gathered
00:35:27.72\00:35:30.36
from the heavenly farm
00:35:30.39\00:35:32.49
that is nourished from
water from a very special river,
00:35:32.53\00:35:35.56
in John's apocalyptic
vision of the renewed Jerusalem,
00:35:35.60\00:35:39.67
he tells of a river flowing
00:35:39.70\00:35:42.00
from the throne
of God and the Lamb,
00:35:42.04\00:35:45.07
this river nurtures
the therapeutic tree
00:35:45.11\00:35:48.04
whose leaves bring healing
to the fractured nations,
00:35:48.08\00:35:51.85
the force of this
river breaks every curse
00:35:51.91\00:35:55.58
that has plagued humanity,
00:35:55.62\00:35:57.39
it is to this river
that the Spirit and the Bride
00:35:57.45\00:36:01.86
offers an open invitation,
00:36:01.89\00:36:03.63
"Come, and let
him who hears, come...
00:36:03.66\00:36:07.90
and let him who thirsts,
00:36:07.96\00:36:09.80
come and drink from the
water of life freely... "
00:36:09.83\00:36:14.60
sons and
daughters of Adam and Eve,
00:36:14.67\00:36:17.17
members of God's family,
00:36:17.21\00:36:19.21
my brothers and
sisters in Christ,
00:36:19.27\00:36:22.64
that water is available today...
00:36:22.68\00:36:26.01
that water that
comes from the river
00:36:26.05\00:36:29.35
that flows from
the throne of God
00:36:29.38\00:36:32.62
and the almighty God
00:36:32.65\00:36:34.36
who calls every nation,
kindred, tongue and people,
00:36:34.39\00:36:37.23
says, "drink... drink... drink
from the water of life freely. "
00:36:37.29\00:36:43.67
Audience: "Amen. " Clapping.
00:36:43.70\00:36:46.60
At this time, we're going
to hear from Joan Francis,
00:36:46.63\00:36:49.67
Dr. Francis, is the Chair of
History and Political Science
00:36:49.70\00:36:55.01
at Columbia Union College
00:36:55.04\00:36:57.01
and is also the
Dean of the Institution.
00:36:57.05\00:36:59.51
Audience: "All right. "
00:36:59.55\00:37:01.82
Children are part
of God's family too.
00:37:01.85\00:37:05.05
Audience: "Amen. "
00:37:05.09\00:37:06.42
An African proverb states
00:37:06.45\00:37:08.22
"When an elder
dies... a library is burnt"
00:37:08.26\00:37:11.09
this saying
implies and rightly so,
00:37:11.13\00:37:13.73
that elders are the
repository of great wisdom
00:37:13.76\00:37:17.03
and knowledge
and of our heritage,
00:37:17.07\00:37:19.77
when they die,
in too many cases,
00:37:19.80\00:37:22.44
that knowledge is lost,
00:37:22.50\00:37:24.21
we want to change that
and so all the information
00:37:24.24\00:37:27.11
about the role of the
Sabbath and Christianity
00:37:27.18\00:37:29.71
in the world and in Africa,
00:37:29.74\00:37:31.75
we want to be able to
pass on to our children now,
00:37:31.78\00:37:35.28
in fact, we have
Biblical evidence for this,
00:37:35.32\00:37:38.55
turn with me to Deuteronomy
chapter 6 verses 7 to 9,
00:37:38.59\00:37:42.99
I might not be reading from your
version but look at that text
00:37:43.02\00:37:46.76
I'm going to read part of
it, and the Lord is saying here,
00:37:46.80\00:37:50.50
"These commandments
that I give you today,
00:37:50.53\00:37:53.23
are to be upon your heart:
impress them on your children,
00:37:53.27\00:37:58.11
talk about them
when you sit at home,
00:37:58.14\00:38:01.18
and when you
walk along the road,
00:38:01.21\00:38:04.18
and when you lie
down and when you get up.
00:38:04.21\00:38:07.85
Tie them as
symbols on your hands,
00:38:07.88\00:38:10.62
and bind them on your forehead.
00:38:10.65\00:38:13.29
Write them on the
doorframe of your houses,
00:38:13.36\00:38:16.19
and on your gates. "
00:38:16.22\00:38:17.63
Now, that was that
time and that society
00:38:17.66\00:38:20.53
if we were saying
it today, we might say,
00:38:20.56\00:38:23.30
"Talk to your
children when you sit at home,
00:38:23.33\00:38:26.03
when you
text-message them on the road,
00:38:26.07\00:38:29.50
when you call them
up on your cell phone,
00:38:29.54\00:38:32.91
when you e-mail them,
00:38:32.97\00:38:34.58
when you sit
down to eat with them,
00:38:34.61\00:38:37.05
when you take them
out to the restaurant,
00:38:37.08\00:38:39.48
when you wake them up,
00:38:39.51\00:38:41.18
put them as
symbols on your computer,
00:38:41.22\00:38:44.02
put them as illustrations
on your refrigerator,
00:38:44.05\00:38:47.36
write them in their
Facebook or whatever book it is,
00:38:47.39\00:38:50.93
and put it on YouTube
00:38:50.96\00:38:52.96
and all the other
communication areas,
00:38:52.99\00:38:55.80
in fact, we need to pass
on our heritage to our kids. "
